And yeah, it seems like it's solid hardware, but from the sounds of it the people running the show haven't done themselves any favours... hmm

*sigh* if only things like this were open source...

unfortunately, there is not, and request for X or Y features is generally met with some hostility.   

the general consensus on these machines is that in terms of hardware they really offer a lot, but the software-side/post-sale support is absolute shite

If you dont mind hacking your windows 7 to run unsigned drivers it worked pretty well, but because it is a VST you might have trouble in modern DAWS and its no longer supported.

So I was just wondering a) what people thought of it in general? b) how people actually use it in their set ups? c) does anyone know of any good demos on how it works/set ups etc.? and d) how much one is worth paying for?
Anything else that springs to mind worth knowing would be great too!

Thanks!!!
